There is host OF Incompetent women
workers, but, as Daniel Webster said,
there is always room at the top" Among
three hundred women whom I once met
about one-half were washerwomen. Not
one of these was competent to do first class
laundry work; some said they eeuld wash
shirts. but they could aot iron them in
the best style,
really do not think that it was intended
by Providence that women should be wage
earners, and when we come to right con-

work for wages. But if mer drink up their
wages and do net support their families,
women will have to work. Some say hat

1t must be remembered that the class Of
workers of whom I have spoken is COM
posed largely Of the foreign and the poorer
element. It takes long time to educate
such people into thrifty and business-like
habits, but gradually they will learn, and
as they learn so will their happiness and
prosperity increase.

Although Capt. George Mackenzie is
claimed, and is thought by many to be
an American, he is in reality Scotch
man b., birth His debut in the pro-
fessional game of chess was made
in the London congress Of 1862,
where his proficiency in the game
won for him the prize which he
easily carried o.. N the follow
ing year he came to New York and a
few years thereafter was pronounced
the strongest player in America. With
in the last ten years he has been a for
nlidable competitor in many interna-
tional tournaments, and in the London
tournament of 1883 his score in the
second half was higher than that OF
any other player, not excepting that OF
the two greatest OF living chess-players
-Zukertort and Stc:nitz. Capt Mac
kenzie scored fifteen victories out of a
possible twenty, against the strongest
field of chess-masters ever brought to-
getber in tournament.

launched forth in few words of entreaty
and warning which resulted in the outbreak

known in that State, a-revlval of religion that
resulted in churches still standing and in the
conversion of large number of men who
entered the Gospel ministry who have
brought their thousands into the kingdom

seven years of plenty. Now, Joseph, is the
time to prepare for famine: for to almost
every man there do come seven years of

The Interstate Commerce Bill

The Butchers National Journal, com
mentiDg on the interstate commerce law,
says:
The interstate commerce bill, on account OF
the lorg and short haul clause, is likely to be-
come intensely unpopular throughout the
west, and especially in Illinois. Many promi.
nent Republicans express the opinion that its
enforcement will result greatly to the aisad-
vantage its author Senator Cuilom, and
fraly locate him permanently in private
lille, mainly because the farmersand producers
will be damaged, and will denounce the bill
and its originator.
1t is safe rule to assume that sensible
men, in any kind of business, will adopt
that line Of conduct which they believe will
be most conducive to their own benefit.
And it is a certainty that the managers OF
the great railway lines of the country, which
traverse number of states, are sensible
men, understand their own business, and
know what is best for their own interests
The men who in conference committee
agreed upon the form OF the interstate COM
merce bill did not agree upon the proper
construction OF the short haul clause, Mr..
Reagan, its author, giving 1t one meaning,
and Senator Cullom, who adopted it, an-
other.
The railroad managers will generally &C
cept Mr. Reagan's Interpretation, and so
will the courts, because 1t was the evident
intent to prohibit higher price for trans.
portation being charged for any short dis
tance over line than was charged for the
came articles between the terminal points.
This will be the safe rule for the roads to
adopt, because of the penalties attached to
violation of the law, and If upon judicial
determination this was found to be the
law, ignorance Of it would not, relieve the
yiolators from the penalties incurred.
Should the roads adopt and strictly adj
here TO this construction of the law in the
transportation Of all freights the law will
amount to virtual prohibition of the chip
ments of heavy western products, like
wheat, corn, os..s, beef, and pork, by rail to
New YORK, Boston, Philadelphia, or Baltl
more.
In that event the country would demand
and enforce the immediate repeal of the
law, and would doubtless visit its wrath
upon its trainers. But Senator Cullom Is
not responsible for this clause In the
bill. That was the petted child Of Senator
Reagan, of Texas; he has been nursing it
for years, and 1t was only after strenuous
opposition that the Senate conferees &C
cepted this clause to prevent the bill being
lost. Senator Reagan is the responsible
man, not Senator Cullom,
